I'm making a tiny app that will use Databases, I want to know how to convert this:
function testDB()
{
var db = window.openDatabase("Database", "1.0", "mydatabase", 2000000);
db.transaction(queryNames, errorDB);
}
function queryNames(tx)
{
tx.executeSql('SELECT name FROM people WHERE id=13', [], listNames, errorDB);
}
function listNames(tx, results)
{
for (var i=0;i<results.rows.length;i++)
{
alert(results.rows.item(i).name);
}
}
function errorDB(err)
{
alert("Fatal error");
}
To something like this (either if it is possible more compacted):
function testDB()
{
var db = window.openDatabase("Database", "1.0", "mydatabase", 2000000);
db.transaction(queryNames('SELECT name FROM people WHERE id=13'), errorDB);
}
function queryNames(tx, query)
{
tx.executeSql(, [],
function listNames(tx, results)
{
for (var i=0;i<results.rows.length;i++)
{
alert(results.rows.item(i).name);
}
},
errorDB);
}
function errorDB(err)
{
alert("Fatal error");
}
In few words, I'm trying to "recycle" the code. Thanks for reading.
The SQLite call is an event. I have created the following function by using jQuery (The function is also logging the results in the console, so you need the console plugin for working):
var db = window.openDatabase("Database", "1.0", "mydatabase", 2000000);
function queryDB(query) {
var start = Date.now();
var deferred = $.Deferred();
db.transaction(function (tx) {
tx.executeSql(query, [], function (tx, results) {
console.log("Rows: " + results.rows.length + " Time: " + (Date.now() - start) + "ms Query: " + query);
deferred.resolve(results);
}, function (error) {
console.log("Error processing SQL: " + error.code + " " + error.no + " Query: " + query);
});
}, function (error) {
console.log("Transaction Error: " + error.code + " " + error.no + " Query: " + query);
});
return deferred.promise();
}
And the function call is:
$.when(queryDB("SELECT * FROM table")).done(function (results) {
// Here your logic with the results
});
The advantage of this way is, that you can call multiple queries the same time:
$.when(queryDB("SELECT * FROM table1"), queryDB("SELECT * FROM table2")).done(function (results1, results2) {
// Here your logic with the results
});
Here's what I would suggest. Make a separate database object that just has a generic query method. That way, you can reuse it from anywhere else in your application. Something like the following:
Here's the database object:
var DB = function () {
this.db = window.openDatabase("Database", "1.0", "mydatabase", 2000000);
};
DB.prototype.error = function () {
alert("Fatal Error");
};
DB.prototype.query = function (query, callback) {
this.db.transaction(function (tx) {
tx.executeSql(query, [], function (tx, results) {
callback(results);
});
}, this.error);
};
And now you can call it to do your names query like so:
var myDB = new DB();
var namesQuery = 'SELECT name FROM people WHERE id=13';
myDB.query(namesQuery, function (results) {
for (var i=0;i<results.rows.length;i++) {
alert(results.rows.item(i).name);
}
});
This is just a basic example. You would probably want to add extra stuff for error handling/named arguments/etc.
Hope this helps
